"Basically, this records is a sun scorched, drug induced rock party with a revolving door of who's who in the obscure world of underground rock. Dessert Session is the brainchild of guitar wanker Josh Homme and features a long list of partners in crime: Peter Stahl, John Paul Mcbain, Ben Shepard, Alfredo Hernandez, Musharitas, Dave Catching, Fred Drake, Jesse (The Devil) Hughes,Loo Balls, Carlos Von Sexron, Craig Armstrong, T. Fresh, Larry Lalli, Boomer, Chris Goss, Nick Oliveri, Tony Tornay, T.S. McPhee, and Marlo Lalli. Shit I hope I didn't forget any one. Originally released on two fancy ten inchers, this CD slab collects said wax slices and slips in a bonus track." - Rekords Rekords
